Objective We will generate a knowledge base for the rational eco-engineering of sites polluted with recalcitrant herbicides atrazine, 2,4-D and analogues. To understand the roles of complex microbial communities for degradation processes, and adaptabilities of communities to stress conditions we will develop, based on detailed metabolic information, molecular biology tools, to study community functions, interactions and adaptations. DNA arrays for phylogenetic, catabolic and stress studies will be designed and optimised. Information recruited in model systems will be used in systems of increasing complexity, aiming at the rational manipulation and optimisation of degradative activities, including the contribution of rhizosphere microbial communities Fields of science natural sciencesbiological sciencesgeneticsDNAnatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencessoil sciencesedaphologynatural sciencesbiological sciencesmolecular biology Programme(s) FP5-INCO 2 - Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Confirming the international role of Community research,1998-2002" Topic(s) Data not available Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator GBF - NATIONAL CENTRE FOR BIOTECHNOLOGY Address 1,mascheroder weg 1 38124 Braunschweig Germany See on map EU contribution € 0,00 Participants (6) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTIFICAS Spain EU contribution € 0,00 Address Campus de la universidad autonoma de madrid 28049 Madrid See on map MACAULAY LAND USE RESEARCH INSTITUTE United Kingdom EU contribution € 0,00 Address Craigiebuckler AB15 8QH Aberdeen See on map PERKIN ELMER LTDA Chile EU contribution € 0,00 Address Bilbao 882 Providencia - santiago See on map PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATOLICA DE CHILE Chile EU contribution € 0,00 Address Alameda 340 Santiago See on map UNIVERSIDAD DE BUENOS AIRES Argentina EU contribution € 0,00 Address 956,junin 956 1113 Buenos aires See on map UNIVERSIDAD TECNICA FEDERICO SANTA MARIA Chile EU contribution € 0,00 Address Avenida espana 1680 110 Valparaiso See on map
